As a person who found out about Professor Skye's chanel and was really interested in his opinions about Kanye west as an artist this deep dive is incredible, you deserve more views but i hope you realize that even few views can be impactful. I really appreciate the content guys, great job on this!

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT & INSIGHTFUL FOR CREATIVES , I'M WORKING ON MY NEXT ALBUM AND STUMBLED ACROSS PROFF. WHILE STUDYING FRANK'S DISCOGRAPHY ❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU GUYS ❗❗ edit : I'm from Professors solo's Blonde deconstruction , shout out OG 💯 2nd edit : Lee just cheesing through the Podcast is a wholesome ❤💎😅

Endless is as good as Blonde

I always had Kanye in the goat position and it’s satisfying and entertaining to hear such an immersive deep dive into his catalogue 🤙

AVAA!

Another inclusion that should be mentioned is that Frank Ocean initially released Endless solely as a visual album, fulfilling his contractual obligations with Def Jam Recordings. He then independently released the studio version of the album on vinyl and CD. This allowed him to control a greater share of the profits from physical sales than if he had still been under contract with his label.

How lucky am I to have specifically just searched for Prof Skye analyzing this album and see this posted 2 weeks ago - subscribed 😮!!

fun fact Kendrick wrote (at least) part of Nights! a reference track snippet leaked, funny to hear Kendrick do the "Ooo na-ni-na-ni" line haha great vid!

Endless is pretty much just as good ngl.

Honest Brat

Excellent discussion. I have lived and breathed Ye since high school, and unfortunately he is very much tethered to my personality. I wasn’t very effected by this era during this era - because I held onto the fact that he was mentally ill, was being influenced by the wrong people, really was trying to spread love through showing how everyone can be “saved” and on and on with all the excuses a typical Kanye apologist cooks up. But listening to this now quite frankly was very depressing. With that said I do still have hope that he focuses on the housing, affordable clothes, reinventing the way we consume music through stem, etc. I am curious to what you think, but I do not need another ye album. I have felt that since JIK. Which I love. I’m in a strange place where I am satisfied with his discography, and the work is so timeless that I never feel like I need something else… I was scared before JIK in fear he’d tarnish his discography, and now I couldn’t live without the option of tuning into that vibe of ye. Same with Donda, and now I couldn’t live without it. Same with Vultures. - it is quite an amazing thing for an artist to be able to create different bodies of work that are so completely different than one another that you know exactly which album to turn on for whatever mood you are in. And one last note: to defend Vultures. I consider this club music. Ye didn’t have club music and now he does. Obviously the album is significantly deeper than that, but there you go.

The send it up stamp is amazing. Love that song so much and yeezus is one of my favorites

i like this album

I quite enjoyed this episode. I liked the detour into George Martin appreciation (very necessary!), your insight into Elenor Rigby, For No one and Here there and everywhere. And also the comments on India influence, as well as the George dichotomy on material possessions. But I do think Prof Skye gets John but not Paul so much (haha) which is not surprising considering that Beatles scholarship give all the seriousness and weight to John. And very little to Paul , and both his musical dexterity and lyrical prowess are underplayed (fluff, lightweight, genre tunes). John said Sgt Pepper was the apex of Lennon-Mccartney partnership, and in Get Back we can see that Paul and John (have different approaches and strengths ofcourse) but their partnership is as solid as ever. I don’t think they broke up due to musical differences! I think a lot of insight is lost when we focus on their music as coming from differing impulses when all of their songs are intensely connected. Some newer Beatles podcasts talk about how many of their songs were about each other, even after the break up, throughout the 70’s, a lot of their work was a call and reply to each other. In any case, thanks for a great episode!

Wow, I really enjoyed this. Going to have to check out the yea finale now, but I would love to hear more of sky’s opinion on the Beatles and their evolution.

1:16:07 She [Taylor Swift] had her best dance solo of all time. I'm glad Taylor's dance moment to All Day is getting recognition. She deserves it.

54:34 The way the DINK!... Oh my god! When people ask why we revere Professor Skye, I'm sending them that quote.

If Christ came back today, I'd find it hard to believe he'd compliment Republicans or Nazis. Both of these are more similar to Pharisees than they are to sex workers and lepers, and Jesus NEVER had a nice word to say about the Pharisees Also, given that he said it's better to have a millstone tied around your neck and be thrown into the sea than cause a little one to stumble, so I imagine sex offenders can be forgiven, but him palling around with them is probs a no go. To be clear, Kanye seems to think that, 'Love Everyone' seems to think that you should be on good terms with everyone, and no one would dispute Jesus loved the Pharisees, but also no one would dispute that the Pharisees HATED Jesus and that Jesus wanted them to hate him.

15:40 H to the itler is the wildest bar in the history of music

0:46 - 1:21 That intro ditty is a bop and needs to be played in all clubs. May we have the song name and singer please?

1:14:30

love you guys

I would recommend Skye listen to Man On The Moon 2 over MotM1. It’s his best album in my opinion.

For some reason my RUclips app can’t play this video without it constantly stopping and buffering. Doesn’t happen for any other video. Weird.

Interesting conversation, I'm halfway through now and just wanted to comment before I forget.. I don't know if we're gonna get a version of Ye that doesn't do and say controversial things. He did a interview in late 2021 with a performance artist named Tino Sehgal, in the interview Ye says something along the lines of (I can't let people love me for too long , I always have to have the freedom of being disliked). And this was during the post Donda 1 era when it seemed like he was regaining the publics affection the most he had in years. Right after that he started that Skeet Davidson antagonistic stuff leading into Donda 2 . Skye quoted it "as soon as they like you , make them unlike you" It's confusing to figure out how much of what Ye says is what he really believes or some sort of front performance art in service of another message. During the TLOP era Ye did an interview with Clique and said he was thinking about doing the same thing with the Swastika as he did with The Confederate Flag on the Yeezus tour making it his flag. During the Ye (album) era Ye was doing that with the Maga hat. The Hitler stuff I think all stems from back then because he was going to name his next album Love Everyone, and on the cover have a picture of the Doctor he feels was responsible for Donda's death. I remember he tweeted that people should think of the person who harmed them the most and say you love and forgive them. Then he did the TMZ interview, and unaired was him saying he loved Hitler. I wouldn't argue that what Ye says about Jewish people isn't potentially dangerous and I don't think it's 100% a performance art act and he doesn't believe anything he says but I can defend and forgive Ye because I feel he has good intentions. I think he believes that censorship, and not empathizing with the other side closes the door on conversation and that is the real problem, not bigoted viewpoints, because the people will continue to have those viewpoints only strengthen as a faction against you if condemn or deplatform them. Ye is definitely confusing, because then there's also a selfish element of this where it's just about his money and power, yet he wants the money and power because he thinks he would do good things for the world with that money and power not just for the sake of materialism or ego.
